Alright guys, it’s officially December. We’re well past Thanksgiving, so nobody can tell you that it’s “too early” for Christmas music. (But let’s be honest, it’s never too early!)

Holiday music can be heard on almost any radio station and I’m sure everyone has a favorite song or two, but I’m here to give you a list of the top 10 Christmas songs.


10. Where Are You Christmas? - Faith Hill

This song had to make the list considering that it's in a class Christmas movie, The Grinch! It's a great counter to all of the upbeat Christmas songs that we always hear around this time of year. (Plus it's great when you're alone in the car and want to belt out a chorus or bridge.)

9. The Christmas Shoes - NewSong

Any song that can make you cry even after hearing it a hundred times is definitely worthy of the list -- I was just listening today and didn't even make it past the first verse before I started sobbing. Some may say that this song is a downer, but it's still a classic Christmas song.

8. Christmas - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

If you try to tell me that you don't manage to sing along to this entirely instrumental song, you're lying.

7. Believe - Josh Groban

Josh Groban's voice is the most soothing thing on the planet. The Polar Express is one of the best Christmas movies. And this song just embodies Christmas. Enough said.

6. Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid 20

Not only is this song extremely catchy and great to sing along to, but it also came out for a charitable cause. With people like Bono on vocals and Sir Paul McCartney playing the instrumental, this song won't be leaving this top 10 list any time soon.

5. The 12 Days of Christmas - Straight No Chaser

This quirky spin on the holiday classic has to be one of the best acapella covers ever. The way that SNC effortless mixes various other holiday songs into this one makes this a shoe-in.

4. White Christmas - Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby is like the grandfather of Christmas. He's the Santa of the holiday music realm, and this song in particular is a classic that everyone can sing along with.

3. Last Christmas - Wham!

This song somehow manages to make me hate an ex that doesn't even exist, so bravo to that.

2. I'll Be Home for Christmas - Michael Buble

If you don't listen to Michael Buble's Christmas album during the holiday season, then you're probably doing Christmas wrong. His renditions of holiday classics are amazing with his Sinatra-esque voice. This song in particular my favorite on the album.

1. All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Let's be honest, whether you love this song or love to hate this song, nothing can stop you from belting along to every word, especially those high notes at the end.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
